COLEMAN, Doctor William Hugh (April 13, 1918-September 22, 2007)
Bill COLEMAN passed away peacefully on September 22, 2007 in
Orillia, Ontario. He was the beloved husband of the late Nell
(née ROY;) cherished father of Diane (Bryan
MERCER) in Calgary,
Dale (Colin
WHEELER) in Whitby, and Hugh (Ennis) in Orillia
devoted grandfather of Robin, Tara, Jocelyn, Jeff and Mark, and
great-grandfather of Fiona; much-loved brother of Catherine
PERCIVAL,
Helen (predeceased) and Herbert (predeceased); and fond uncle
to two nieces and four nephews. Born in Palmerston, Ontario to
Dr. Herbert and Mary Moore
COLEMAN,
Bill moved with the family
to Toronto as a young boy. He completed his DDS degree at
the University of Toronto in 1943, earning his way by working
on Great Lakes boats and picking tobacco. He then served two
years as a Captain in the Royal Canadian Air Force dental corps,
posted to Aylmer, Ontario. He married his high school sweetheart,
Nell ROY, an occupational therapist, in 1942 in Hamilton. After
leaving the Air Force, he set up his dental practice in Toronto,
and practiced until 1983, when his health mandated retirement.
He was a dedicated member of the Lions Clubs in Leaside, Markham
and Bracebridge, coordinating their fall pumpkin sales and many
other aspects of fundraising and social events. After 60 years
of participation, he was presented with a Lions Lifetime Award,
of which he was justly proud. 'Papa' was a fun guy. His big smile
and infectious sense of humour will be fondly remembered by all
of his family, as well as by his Friends from Toronto, Markham,
Bracebridge and Orillia; by his dental patients who loved their
'Dr. Bill'; and by those with whom he sang in choirs and in Gilbert
and Sullivan operettas, played golf, curled, played bridge, camped
and cottaged, boated and fished, sipped manhattans, and just
enjoyed life. He loved the outdoors, the cottage and the lake
- a passion shared by his children - and always had a dog to
follow him around. He loved a good garage sale, grilled a great
steak, could fix anything, and produced both good furniture and
bad wine from his workshop. The family extends their sincere
appreciation to the staff of the Birchmere Retirement Residence
and of the Dialysis Unit of the Orillia Hospital for their kind
care. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity

Body of canoeist found
Bayfield-area man vanished afterleaving Friends for night-time
paddle
By Jonathon
JACKSON,
Wednesday,
July 04, 2007
The body of a Bayfield-area man who went missing while paddling
on the Saugeen River was found Tuesday.
Byron HENDERSON vanished while padding along a stretch of the
Saugeen just south of Paisley.
Const. Jeff
MERCEY, the South Bruce Ontario Provincial Police
detachment's media relations and community service officer, said
Tuesday HENDERSON was with two companions on the weekend.
They canoed together on Sunday and regrouped that evening at
a river access point on Concession 10 of the former Brant Township.
HENDERSON, described as an experienced canoeist, said he was
going to paddle downstream that night to Paisley, where he would
meet up with his Friends after they made the same journey on
Monday.
As the crow flies, it's about 12.5 kilometres but, because the
river winds so much, it's difficult to know the exact distance
on the water. A brochure from Thorncrest Outfitters suggests
a time of seven hours to reach Paisley from Brant Concession 10,
although store employee Rob
BYRNE said the distance can probably
be covered in as few as four hours by an experienced paddler.
HENDERSON's
Friends set out Monday morning as planned and made
it to Paisley, but saw no sign of
HENDERSON in town or along
the way. They became worried and contacted the police after trying
on their own to locate him.
Members of the Ontario Provincial Police's Emergency Response
Team, an underwater search team, a canine unit and a police helicopter
were all used in a search for
HENDERSON on Tuesday. Several police
cruisers came and went from a command post established at the
South Bruce Ontario Provincial Police's satellite office next
to the junction of the Saugeen and Teeswater rivers in the heart
of Paisley.
MERCEY said a canoe and "some personal belongings" were spotted
Monday by a farmer in the water between Brant Concession 10 and
Paisley.
He said HENDERSON's body was found in the Saugeen River between
Conc. 10 and 12 of Brant Township by the dive team about 6: 30 p.m.
Police have no reason to suspect foul play,
MERCEY said, but
an autopsy was scheduled to be conducted today in London, Ontario
Anxious family members spent Tuesday waiting for word sitting
on a park bench in Paisley, staring out at the water and waiting
for news.
"We offered a spot inside (the office) for them, but they want
to be outside," said
MERCEY.
He said the family specifically told him they would not speak
to the media.

Man charged with murder in brother's death
Police release few details about 18-year-old's death
By Doug EDGAR,
Thursday,
August 02, 2007
One brother is dead and another is charged with his murder after
Ontario Provincial Police officers were called to a home in the
former Kincardine Township Tuesday night.
John Robert
FORRESTER, 18, is dead and Asa John
FORRESTER, 22,
is charged with second degree murder, South Bruce Ontario Provincial
Police said in a news release Wednesday.
Officers from the detachment and Bruce County paramedics were
called to the
FORRESTER home on Concession Road 5 of the former
Kincardine
Township,
Const. Jeff
MERCEY said Wednesday afternoon.
"It came through dispatch in London as a call for assistance
just prior to midnight," he said.
They found John
FORRESTER "with critical injuries,"
MERCEY said
in a news release.
The teen was immediately taken to hospital in Kincardine, where
he died of his injuries.
MERCEY said he could not comment on the nature of the younger
FORRESTER's injuries, since the information could be evidence,
nor could he comment on what happened before police were called.
"We're still investigating that," he said. "There isn't a lot
of information we can release."
John FORRESTER attended Kincardine District Secondary School,
where he took part in athletics including track and field and
hockey.
"He had just successfully graduated in June," Kincardine District
Secondary
School principal Dan
HOBLER said Wednesday evening.
The school cafeteria was to open at 9 a.m. today for students
or others who might want help dealing with
FORRESTER's death.
The school board's tragic response team was to be there.
"We don't know much detail,"
HOBLER said. "We just want to be
there for anyone who needs it."
The news came as a shock, said Tanya
BYERS, who coached John
FORRESTER in Grade 9, when he reached the Ontario Federation
of School Athletic Associations regionals in midget hurdles,
and again this spring, when he trained in shot put and discus.
While they were not close,
BYERS said
FORRESTER had said he wanted
to be a helicopter pilot.
"He was a pleasure to coach," she said. "He was a very likeable
guy.Asa" John
FORRESTER was to make a court appearance in Walkerton
Wednesday afternoon and would likely be back in court today,
MERCEY said.
The investigation is being directed by Det.-Insp. Bill
RENTON
of the Ontario Provincial Police's criminal investigation branch,
with help from South Bruce detachment officers. An Ontario Provincial
Police forensic identification unit based in Mount Forest has
also been called in.
"We still have police at the scene,"
MERCEY said late Wednesday
afternoon.
The last homicide investigation in the Kincardine detachment
area was in 1994, he said.
John FORRESTER was a student at Kincardine District Secondary
school, where he competed in track and field events.

GALPIN,
Doctor
Richard
Robertson
Was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, on May 29, 1915, first
child of his parents Alfred and Louise
GALPIN.
His father worked
as an official with Canadian Customs and Immigration, his mother
maintained their home. Richard was the third generation of the
family born in Vancouver. He was joined in a few years by his
beloved sister Esther Louise (who later married C.G. (Bud)
KILLAM.
They are survived by their children, son Richard (Veronica),
daughter Nancy
SINCLAIR
(Richard,) and son Michael (Lynette)
all of Vancouver). He grew up in Vancouver, attending public
schools. He graduated from Kitsalino High School, and attended
the University of British Columbia, where he received his Bachelor's
degree. When he spoke about this time in his life, he remembered
the Friendships he had, and the love of his family. During this
time he held many part time jobs that shaped his outlook on life,
including working as a lumberjack, streetcar motorman, and on
the railroad. As a young man, he enjoyed sailing, music and the
outdoors, and played rugby for the Merelomas. His love of music
has always been central to his life, and started with piano lessons
as a boy. While attending University of British Columbia, he
was introduced to a friend of his sister's, Helen
STEVENSON,
who he courted and married. After graduating from University
of British Columbia, he attended Medical School at McGill University,
and received his doctorate in 1943. After graduation, he was
immediately assigned to service aboard the HMCS Waterford.
He served through the remainder of World War 2 in the Canadian
Navy and saw combat throughout the Atlantic Theater as a ship's
surgeon. His decorations include: The Battle of Atlantic Medal,
Normandy Star, Defense of Britain Medal, and the Victory Medal.
He continued to have an affiliation with the Canadian Navy until
his death, rising to the rank of Rear-Admiral (Reserves). He
relished this connection to the navy throughout his life. He
was particularly proud of his Honorary United states Naval Insignia,
including Surface command, and Naval Aviator (U.S.S. Nimitz).
He was also an honorary member of the Detroit Navy League. In
1949 Richard emigrated to the United States to begin his Pediatric
training at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. He completed this
and became Board Certified and a Fellow of the American Academy
of Pediatrics. He joined Doctor Lloyd Kemp in his office at the
corner of Brown and Southfield, and joined the staff at Beaumont
Hospital when it was a single building lying on the outskirts
of the city. He went on to practice pediatrics in the same location
for over thirty years, caring for multiple generations from the
same families. During his clinical practice he became especially
interested in early childhood development. With his belief in
the importance of nurturing this special period of a child's
development and through the strength of his efforts, he founded
the Neuro-Education Center at Beaumont Hospital. From early shoe-string
budgets, he shepherded the center through it's early years, and
maintained an interest in 'the Center' for the rest of his life.
It has now become the Center for Human Development at Beaumont
Hospital. He and Helen had four children Kenneth, Peter, Lindley
and Sheila. The children were raised in Birmingham. During this
time Richard and Helen were involved in many community affairs
from the Birmingham Jazz Festival, the Birmingham Kite Festival
to the origins of the Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center, and were
members of Christchurch Cranbrook. During this time he was an
avid competitive sailor, a Member of Crescent Sail Yacht club.
He passed on his love of music and sailing to his children. Helen
and Richard divorced in 1970. In 1973 he was introduced to Maxine
RICH by mutual Friends. They courted for two years and went on
to be married in 1975. The marriage lasted until their deaths.
As a couple they were inseparable. As well as traveling, they
loved to entertain at Maxine's house in Orchard lake, were avid
ballroom dancers and enjoyed boating on Cass Lake. Richard is
survived by his first wife
Helen
GALPIN of Comox, British Columbia
and son Peter (Nina) and their twin children Akira and Mikiko,
daughter Lindley (Carey) and her children Karen and Amy, Father-in-law
to Mary BODO
(Kenneth,) daughter Sheila
MEREDITH and her children
Thyra and Nedra, and their children Walter, Ella and Daniel.
Stepchildren, Tina

light of his smile, his skill as a raconteur and his joy at the
piano, his contribution to the world has been great, and we carry
him with us always.

Anne
Passed away at home 31 July 2007 surrounded by family and dear
Friends. Danielle was 41 years old.
Danielle was an Associate Professor of Classics at Brock University,
a dedicated archaeologist who was passionate about her research
and teaching, and deeply interested in the success of her students.
She set high standards for herself and for all whom she encountered.
During her graduate studies, Danielle took part in an excavation
in Cyprus. She returned to Cyprus annually, and lived there two
full years. It became her second home, and her Friends there
became her second family. Danielle's most recent trip was a heartwarming
return in May of this year. During her 2½ year battle with Leukemia,
she continued to be active at Brock in teaching and service,
in the establishment of the new Masters Programme in Classics,
and maintained her involvement in conferences, research and publishing.
She never lost her zeal for life.
Danielle will be sadly missed by her husband William
MEREDITH,
her parents Michael and Linda; her brothers Christopher and Matthew,
William's parents Roger and Jean, her students and colleagues
at Brock University, and by her Friends and colleagues in Cyprus

'Brilliant teacher' and professor explained politics to Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation viewers
Political scientist triumphed not only as a scholar but also
as a commentator. He could explain even the most erudite concepts
succinctly and without condescension, writes Sandra
MARTIN
By Sandra MARTIN,
Page S8
In the great triumvirate of scholarship, administration and teaching,
by which academics tend to be graded, political scientist Paul
FOX's contribution lay in all three areas - but above all in
the classroom.
"He was the most popular teacher in a very big department, one
that prided itself on teaching," said his former colleague, the
political scientist J.T. McLeod (who writes fiction under the
name Jack MacLeod). "He had a wonderful ironic wit and he could
make the study of politics very lively, and about people, not
just about laws and constitutions. He was a brilliant teacher."
Beginning in 1962, Prof.
FOX was the lead editor of Politics:
Canada, a collection of readings that went through eight editions
and which for many years was the most widely used undergraduate
textbook in the subject.
Prof. FOX "was one of those remarkable academic administrators
who's a true gentleman," said philosopher Paul
GOOCH, president
of Victoria College in the University of Toronto. "He was a man
of unfailing courtesy. That was my initial and lasting impression,"
he said of the man who served two terms as principal of Erindale
College (from 1976-1986) on the Mississauga Campus of the University
of Toronto and then sat on the Board of Regents at Victoria,
after he retired from teaching.
The opposite of an ivory tower academic, Prof.
FOX gave his discipline
a public face through his accessibility to journalists - eager
for sound bites and pithy comments - and his many appearances
as a political commentator on radio and television and in print,
especially during political campaigns and election-night coverage.
Rail thin, with a glint of humour in his eyes, he could explain
even the most erudite concepts succinctly and without condescension.
"He was humane, and he brought the world of politics to you in
a way which made you feel that you could not only understand
it, but participate in it," former governor-general Adrienne
Clarkson said. The two met in 1965 when Ms. Clarkson was co-host
of Take Thirty on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation television.
Prof. FOX, who shared in the "entertain-and-learn-along-the-way
philosophy" of the program was a regular guest on Take Thirty
for a decade. "I have not high enough words of praise for this
man," Ms. Clarkson said.
Paul Wesley
FOX was born in 1921, the younger of two sons of
Paul Hazelton and Ida (née
MEREDITH)
FOX. On his father's side,
his family pre-dated the United Empire Loyalists, having emigrated
from the American Colonies to what is now Nova Scotia in the
early 1760s. His mother's family heritage was English and Welsh.
His father worked for the Canadian National Railway as an assistant
superintendent of operations for several branch lines in eastern
Ontario, and his mother was a homemaker.
Paul and his older brother Arthur were born in Orillia, Ontario,
their mother's home town, probably because his father was at
that time posted in northern Ontario. The family moved to Ottawa
when Mr. FOX was transferred there by the Canadian National Railway.
Paul went to First Avenue School, then Glebe Collegiate and finished
high school in Barrie, after his father was transferred there.
He went to Victoria College in the University of Toronto in 1940 and
volunteered in the Canadian officers Training Corps. An excellent
student, Mr.
FOX graduated in 1944 with the Ames gold medal in
political economy and the Men's Senior Stick (an award given
by the student body to the student they feel has made the greatest
contribution) at Victoria College. He immediately was posted
for officer training at an army camp in Brockville, Ontario,
and then, with the rank of lieutenant, to what was then called
Camp Utopia, near Gagetown, New Brunswick The war ended before
he could be shipped overseas.
He went back to the University of Toronto in the fall of 1945 to
undertake studies for a masters degree in political science,
which he completed in 1947, while working in the department as
a research associate. He won a British Council Scholarship and
probably completed the residency requirements for his doctorate
at the London School of Economics the following year, before
interrupting his education to teach at what was then called Carleton
College in Ottawa from 1948 to 1954. That's where he met Joan
GLADWIN.
They were married on June 20, 1951, and eventually had
three sons, Rowley, Bruce and Nicholas.
The family moved to Toronto in 1954 after Mr.
FOX accepted an
appointment as an assistant professor at the University of Toronto
in what was then called the Department of Economics and Political
Economy. At the same time, he continued work on his doctoral
thesis and received his doctorate from the University of London
in 1959.
Prof. McLeod arrived at the University of Toronto from Saskatchewan
in October, 1955 to begin his doctorate in political science
and almost immediately met Prof.
FOX. "He and his wife had me
to dinner, the day we met, and I thought 'isn't Toronto such
a friendly place,' and I never got invited any place else for
about five years," Prof. McLeod said with a chuckle.
"He was a pleasure to work with and a privilege to know. Thoughtful,
helpful co-operative and always ready to give sensible advice&hellip
and a good man. I never heard anybody say anything critical of
him."
Political scientist David
COOK, now the principal of Victoria
College, still remembers being in Prof.
FOX's
Politics 100 class
when he was an undergraduate in the mid-sixties. The textbook
was the second edition of Politics: Canada, edited by Prof.
FOX.
"He was a tremendous teacher with a wonderful sense of humour
who knew many stories about political figures and could weave
them into his teaching of the elementary aspects of Canadian
government," according to Prof.
COOK.
"He was able to establish an intimacy with the class" even in
a large lecture hall. "You liked the man immediately."
Besides
Politics:
Canada, Prof.
FOX was also the senior Canadian
editor of The World Almanac from 1972-78, the general editor
of the 24-book series, Politics, co-editor of the Canadian Journal
of Political Science from 1974-77 and president of the Canadian
Political Science Association from 1979-80. He also served on
the Advisory Committee on Research for the Royal Commission on
Bilingualism and Biculturalism 1964-68, the Ontario Advisory
Committee on Confederation from 1965-71, and as chair of the
Ontario Council on University Affairs from 1987-88.
He was a mentor to younger academic colleagues and a very successful
principal of Erindale College, according to Prof.
COOK, who spent
many years in the central administration of the university and
had many opportunities to observe Prof.
FOX in action. "He had
an amazing ability to make relationships work and he transformed
Erindale's relationship with the community in Mississauga," Prof.
COOK
said. "He delegated well and he gave the college a sense of itself."
After teaching at the University of Toronto for more than 30 years,
Prof. FOX officially retired in 1987 and was named an emeritus
professor. He returned to the college where he had spent his
undergraduate years and served as Senior Research Associate from
1988-2004 and on the board of Regents, including a term as chair.
About three years ago, Prof.
FOX developed pulmonary fibrosis,
a progressive disease in which the air sacs of the lungs become
replaced by fibrotic tissue, making it very difficult for the
lungs to transfer oxygen into the bloodstream. He managed with
supplementary oxygen but declined in the last year and went into
palliative care at Grace Hospital in Toronto just after Thanksgiving.
Paul Wesley
FOX, O.C., was born in Orillia, Ont, on September 22,
1921 and died in Toronto on October 18, 2007, of complications
from pulmonary fibrosis. He was 86. He is survived by his wife
Joan, his three sons, two grand_sons, his older brother Arthur
and his extended family.

disease and multiple medical problems, aged 83.

Dorothy MERKLEY was the fourth of six children born to Les and
Lillie STOREY.
Coming of age on a farm during the 1930s, a child
of entrepreneurial parents who were often away quarrying stone
and building roads, was no doubt the impetus for Dorothy's independence
and capabilities in the home.
As a spirited woman of 18, Dorothy attended Normal School in
Peterborough, Ontario She taught at several one-room schoolhouses,
where her professionalism, energy and love of children affected
some so much they remained in touch with "Miss Storey" for more
than 60 years.
While working in Iroquois, Ontario, where she lived in a rooming
house with her older sister Helen, also a teacher, Dorothy met
her future husband. Alfred
MERKLEY had been an exceptionally
bright high-school student of Helen's. He pursued an engineering
degree at Queen's University, and upon graduating moved to New
Brunswick.
Dorothy followed him there and they married a week later. Shortly
after she was diagnosed with tuberculosis. Dorothy had only had
time to give her new home a thorough cleaning when she was forced
to return to Ontario, first to the family home and then to a
sanatorium in London.
Alfred obtained new employment in London, and for 2½ years made
a daily trek on his bicycle to visit his young bride.
Dorothy survived to become a supportive mother to her only child,
Paul, born in 1956. She was extremely proud of Paul and his wife,
Lora, and of her nieces and nephews, their spouses, children
and pets.
Dorothy excelled as a homemaker (her standards for cleanliness
and ironing were exacting), became a prize-winning weaver (her
standards for salvage edges also exacting), was active in her
church and community and was an accomplished cook, baker and
canner.
Her conservative standards were legendary. None of her family
can recall seeing her in anything other than a smartly tailored
dress or skirt, stockings and leather shoes - with a crisply
ironed apron if she was working in the kitchen. Nor did she smoke,
drink or swear. But she was as ready for fun as anyone.
Dorothy was part of a generation whose lives spanned much of
the 20th century and who optimistically embraced the changes
and challenges that that century wrought. She represents a morality,
work ethic, generosity of spirit and way of life that is quintessentially
Canadian.
Brenda BASS is Dorothy's niece.

Jack was an avid outdoorsman who loved to hunt, fish and camp
and who especially enjoyed touring about in his camper visiting
family and Friends. He especially liked taking each of his family
for a week during the summer months when they would share time
together, usually on a fishing adventure. Jack also enjoyed getting
away to the "acreage" where he would relax in his woodworking
hobby and just enjoying the life which it provided. His family,
